BRAZILIAN aerospace company embraer has obtained type certification for its E190 passenger to freighter conversion from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
The EASA published the type certificate document, dated November 7, on its website, according to London's Air Cargo News.
Embraer's E190 conversion and cargo loading system were also certified by the US Federal Aviation Administration (F) in September.
Earlier this year, Air Cargo News reported on the completion of Federal Aviation Administration (F) installation conformity for the E190.
According to US aerospace company US Cargo Systems, the company worked with Embraer to carry out the certification process in May.
The F approval followed on from certification from the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC) in July.
Embraer launched its programme to convert E190 and E195 passenger aircraft to freighters in March 2022.
The E-Jet freighter programme has been created in response to e-commerce growth and increased demand for cargo capacity, especially for smaller markets.
If combining capacity under the floor and main deck, the maximum structural payload is 13,500 kg for the E190F and 14,300 kg for the E195F.
